Ever since I was a little girl you could find me with paper and pen in hand, writing poetry, haiku’s, and mostly writing anything that came  to mind. I read a post recently that asked if being a writer was something you were born with or if you could be taught to be a writer? I personally think there are naturals in most everything we do in life. Some are born with a natural ability to sing, and when they take voice lessons can perfect and hone their craft. Others are born with an artistic ability, and over time their illustrations get better and better. But I also believe someone who has never drawn could pick up a paint brush, and begin creating, and if they create often, will get better and better at it. The same goes for writing, writing what you know is fun, but it might not necessarily pay. So then pencils must be sharpened, and research needs to be done, in order to write something outside of our comfort zone.

No matter what we do in life, I’ve found, there will always be competitors, and someone who is always trying to make it to the finish line before you do. All we can do, is do our best– write in a genre that we believe we would enjoy, and you guessed it…just write!
